I finished The Order of the Phoenix auf Deutsch on Monday, and then watched the movie (again) (of course). I have already told you this, but I am quite proud of it, so I'm saying it again.
Today, I finished re-reading The Half-Blood Prince, and seem to have forgotten everything about Snape, because I am just so confused about him right now. I'm not mad at him, and I wasn't the first time either, because Dumbledore dying didn't make me all that sad. What made me sad was actually only in the movie, when McGonagall raises her wand in the air, and everyone follows suit (I'll admit though, the second time I read Harry not wanting to leave Dumbledore, it made me much sadder than the first time).
Generally, when I cry in books, it isn't because a favorite character of mine died (that really only happens in movies, if it's well done). For example, the dedication in The Deathly Hallows made me cry, I am not entirely sure why, but it did, and it wasn't to do with character death (well...). If I Lie made me cry, because everything that happens to her is just so terrible. Where The Red Fern Grows made me cry, because the connection between the dogs and their owner was so powerful, and only when Jack dies is this point made as evident as ever. I honestly can't think of a character death that has made me cry.
Maybe I'm just the coldest person ever, but I think there are other elements that make me feel more emotion than something as simple death (this is not saying that death is simple, it's just that it's not as complex of a plot development (and I feel bad about saying death is a plot development, because it shouldn't be) than other things).I'll probably do something more on this later.
Yesterday, I watched The Sorcerers Stone while working (sort of...) and noticed that Hermoine has bangs, BANGS!!! Tonight, I am either going to watch The Half-Blood Prince, or The Deathly Hallows Part 2.
